MEMPHIS TN PEST CONTROL
Pest Control is required when you live in Memphis to help prevent sharing your home with pests such as ants, roaches and spiders.
With the warm climate and mild winters in Memphis, you will find area pests are active year-round in many homes and businesses. 901 Pest Control has a friendly, trained and state certified service technician near your home or business and ready to help protect you against a pest invasion. Below are some of the pests you can expect to see by season.
Memphis Pest Control for Homes and Businesses
Memphis pest control requires more than treating the pests you can see. Warm temperatures, seasonal rainfall, mature trees, older construction, and year-round insect activity give ants, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, rats, mice, termites, and other pests repeated opportunities to enter homes and businesses.
901 Pest Control provides practical service based on the pest, the structure, and what we find during the inspection. We do not assume that every home or business needs the same treatment or service schedule.
Our licensed and certified Tennessee technicians inspect the areas of concern, explain their findings in plain language, and recommend a plan for the immediate problem and ongoing protection when needed. With more than 50 years of termite and pest control experience, our family-owned company provides responsive service backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee: If the bugs come back, so do we.
RESIDENTIAL PEST CONTROL IN MEMPHIS
Our residential pest control in Memphis covers kitchens, bathrooms, garages, crawl spaces, attics, patios, and other areas where pests may enter, nest, or search for food and water.
Depending on what we find, we may recommend professional ant control, cockroach control, spider control, or recurring exterior protection around the home.
We also provide mosquito control in Memphis for yards, patios, and outdoor gathering areas. When rats or mice are entering attics, garages, crawl spaces, or interior walls, our rodent control for rats and mice focuses on identifying signs of infestation and locating possible entry points around rooflines, vents, gaps, and utility openings.
Because every home is different, we build recommendations around the pest and the conditions found during the evaluation rather than relying on the same treatment for every property.

Termite Control for Memphis Homes and Businesses
Memphis has warm soil, moisture, and construction conditions that can support subterranean termite activity. Regular inspections and professional termite control in Memphis can help identify evidence before the damage becomes more extensive.
Possible termite warning signs include:
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Mud tubes along foundations
- Soft, damaged, or hollow-sounding wood
- Bubbling or uneven paint
- Termite swarmers inside the structure
During a termite evaluation, we review accessible areas of the structure, visible evidence, moisture-prone locations, foundation conditions, and the areas where swarmers or wings were found. Treatment recommendations may vary based on the building, soil access, extent of the infestation, and the level of ongoing protection needed.
Our technicians explain what they find and outline the available treatment options before work begins. You will know what is being recommended, why it is appropriate for the structure, and what follow-up may be required.
Termites Can Be a Serious Problem

Some interesting facts about subterranean termites:
- Termites are estimated to have been around for more than 240 million years. They adapt to ever changing environments. Termites are nature’s way to break down wood and return it to the soil.
- Termites can’t smell, taste or see. Termites choose their food based on the vibrations wood makes as they bite into it. As termites grip and pull wood fibers, the fibers snap and send a small impulse through the entire structure that they’re eating. Those vibrations return to the termites and let them know what they’re eating.
- Genetic research has determined that termites are related to roaches.
- Termite colonies can contain up to one million termites. There can be as many as 20 or more subterranean termite colonies per acre. So the average size Memphis home may have up to 1 million termites living just below the structure!

Pyrethroids are used in numerous commercial products that consumers use to control insects such as household pets insecticides, pet shampoos and sprays, and even head lice shampoos.
Types of Mosquitos
AEDES SPECIES OR ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITO (TRANSMITS ZIKA VIRUS)
Aedes mosquitoes are visually distinct because they have black and white markings on their bodies and legs. They are active during the day in shaded areas and into the early evening. Females will blood-feed primarily on humans in order to produce eggs. This species is a vector, or carrier for the following diseases: yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya. These viruses are passed on to humans through the bites of an infected female Aedes mosquito, which mainly acquires the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. Preferred feeding times are during daylight, for approximately two hours after sunrise and several hours before sunset.
ANOPHELES SPECIES (TRANSMITS MALARIA)
CULEX SPECIES OR HOUSE MOSQUITO (TRANSMITS ENCEPHALITIS)
Memphis TN ROOF RAT CONTROL

5 Ways Roof Rats and Mice Can Enter Memphis Homes and Businesses
CRACKS IN THE WALL
Inspect the exterior of your home and look for any potential entry points. Fill smaller holes with caulk and use steel wool or waterproof sealant to block larger entry points.
VENTS
Many vents can have openings large enough for a rat to squeeze through. Rats can also squeeze through any gaps left around the vent opening. Seal any gaps around vents. Cover vents securely with metal screening.GAPS AROUND WINDOWS
Rats can easily enter through small gaps or cracks around windows. Seal any openings and check your window screen for holes.HOLES IN THE ROOF
If you suspect you have rats in your attic, it’s a good idea to have your roof checked for openings. Rats can often enter through small gaps created by the room corner intersection. They can also chew ridge cap plugs. Any openings should be blocked with a waterproof sealant.CHIMNEY
A chimney is an easy target for a rat to enter your home looking for food and warmth. If you have rats in your chimney, it’s a good idea to have it professionally cleaned to be sure there are no nesting materials present. A chimney grate or cap can be installed to help deter rats.

How Our Memphis Pest Control Process Works
Our process begins with a free pest evaluation. We identify the pest, inspect likely entry points and nesting areas, and look for food, moisture, shelter, or access points that may be contributing to the problem.
After the inspection, we explain:
- What we found
- Which areas may need treatment
- How to prepare for service
- Whether follow-up visits are recommended
- What steps may help reduce future problems
Depending on the pest and property, treatment may include targeted interior applications, exterior perimeter service, web or nest removal where appropriate, baiting, trapping, monitoring, exclusion recommendations, or follow-up visits.
We may also recommend reducing standing water, repairing leaks, improving food storage, trimming vegetation away from the structure, or sealing accessible gaps. Pest control products are used according to their labels and applied with care in the designated treatment areas.
What Affects the Cost of Pest Control in Memphis?
The cost of pest control in Memphis depends on the pest, the size and layout of the property, the extent of the infestation, the areas requiring treatment, and whether one-time or recurring service is recommended.
General household pest control, termite treatment, rodent exclusion, mosquito service, and commercial pest management each require different inspection and treatment methods. A small ant problem in one room will not require the same plan as termites around a foundation or rodents entering through multiple roofline gaps.
An accurate quote begins with evaluating the property rather than estimating the cost without seeing the problem.
